This tutorial assumes that you’ve already installed and configured this plugin, and are ready to move to the next step: creating the actual events posts. Here we go!

Step 1: Click Post > Add New.

Step 2: Enter a title & and content. Then check “Events”.

Step 3: Scroll down the page to the “Custom Fields” section. From the select box, choose “event_date”.

Step 4: Enter in the date of the event using the format YYYY-MM-DD (include the dashes).

Step 5: Scroll back up and click Publish

After the event’s date passes, it will automatically be removed from the list, but will still exist as a post within WordPress.
